# Introduction and basics

Familiarize yourself with the structure and features of PrFlare.

PrFlare offers access to an extensive catalog of tens of thousands of publications that can be used for a variety of purposes, whether it's increasing brand awareness or getting mentions of a product or service. Let's take a closer look at the features of the catalog and learn how to use it.

**Structure of a catalog**

A catalog basically consists of the following elements:

1.  Search by domain
    
2.  Filtering options
    
3.  Display (table or grid view)
    
4.  Column display settings
    
5.  Blacklist
    

When you first look at the catalog, you will see a list of publications that we think are most appropriate for you. This list is selected based on various criteria.

If you are looking for a specific publication (Forbes, for example), simply type its domain name (in this case it would be **forbes.com**) into the domain search box and click on Enter/Return.

If you're not sure where the material will be most effective, use the filtering and sorting options to find the right edition by clicking on the **Filter** button.

The catalog has the ability to switch between different views of information. For example, the **Table view** offers more information.

It is also possible to hide unnecessary columns (for example, if you need to place material about the company, the column with policy prices and other sections will not be useful). To hide unnecessary columns, click on **Settings** and uncheck the services or sections that will not be used for filtering on this order.

To hide sites where, for example, you have already published materials and do not plan to post on them again, add the domains to the **Blacklist** and click on **Apply**.

You can add a site to the **Cart** directly from the catalog.

If you need more information to make a decision, just move your cursor over the domain you are interested in or click on it to see all the details.
